Abstract

Starting in 2006, China launched a project to carry out Basic Farmland Construction in 116 representative counties. The objective of this project was to enhance agricultural productivity. China invested 30 billion yuan in this project from 2006 to 2013. Using a difference-in-differences approach, this study estimates that Basic Farmland Construction increased per capita agricultural output by 6.3%, crop sown area by 5%, and agricultural mechanization by 7.3%. The total benefits of the project far exceeded the total investments. By incorporating with rainfall shocks, this study finds that the project could mitigate most of the damage from droughts and floods.

中国的基本农田建设：提高农业生产力和抗灾能力的高性价比投资

从 2006 年开始，中国在 116 个有代表性的县启动了基本农田建设项目。该项目的目标是提高农业生产力。从 2006 年到 2013 年，中国在该项目上投入了 300 亿元。本研究采用差分法估算，基本农田建设使人均农业产值提高了 6.3%，农作物播种面积提高了 5%，农业机械化提高了 7.3%。项目总收益远远超过总投资。通过结合降雨冲击，本研究发现该项目可减轻干旱和洪水造成的大部分损失。
